with Pastor Terrell

“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.” ~ 1 John 4:7-12 (NIV) ~ This love thing can be a little tricky — especially around Valentine’s Day. Many in our church family are in long-term committed marriages. They know that love takes a lot of work, but it is always worth the effort. Some are in new relationships — at the beginning end of the work ahead — wondering if they will get it right? Some of our family find themselves single or single again. They may be wondering what happened to love? For some of you, Valentine’s Day may not be your favorite holiday. I get it. For some in our church family, Valentine's Day finds you mourning the loss of a dear husband or wife. I can only imagine that your life circumstances give you a very different perspective on this holiday.

Love may not always be easy to find or easy to see. Much like the heart in the picture above, love can seem to remain hidden from us. However, God says that is just not true — when we truly understand what real love is. continued


Love is not an emotion. Love is not a feeling. Love is not a state only for marriage. Love is a verb. It is an action. Love is something we do. Love is a choice. In 1 John, we are told that Christians are the only ones who can truly live in and demonstrate real love — God’s love. The Apostle John does not put any restrictions on that love. It does not matter what our marital status may presently be, we can all live in and practice God’s love. Real love is always sacrificial. It always places the needs of others above our own. This Sunday — Valentine’s Day — let me encourage you to do something sacrificial for someone else. Don’t just sit and wait for your life circumstances to change. Your spouse and children need you to put them first. Your friends and neighbors need for someone to tell them that they are still important. What better gift on Valentine’s Day than to share the love of God? They may have never heard the story of God’s love at the cross for them. Help them understand God’s love as they see it in your acts of self-giving service and love. As a boomerang effect — something amazing will happen in your life when you take action when it comes to love. You will know the love that God has for you in ways you could have never imagined. So don’t sit — begin to act in sacrificial ways. Blessings on you as we all come to know God’s love in deeper ways this week.

P.S. I can’t help myself. It may be the Valentine’s emphasis of this week... or let’s just blame it on John Clark’s “Bad Pun Week” — but... What did the French chef give his wife for Valentine’s Day?
